OCTOBER 12. 1838, The Dublin Papers of Wednesday contain a re port of the proceedings at a public meeting of the landed proprietors of the county of Galway, held at Ballinasloe on Monday last, for the purpose of peti tioning for the total extinction of the Irish Church Tithe impost. The meeting was attended by the Hon. THOMAS FFRENCH, Sir M. D. BELLEW, Sir F. INPDONNELL, and most of the large landed proprie • tors of Galway and the counties adjacent. We can not better express the sense of this meeting than by quoting the following resolutions, which were proposed amid loud acclamations, and carried unanimously : " Resolved—That we view with disappointment and re gret the present Tithe all, deeming it to be a moat unsa tisfactory and fruitless attempt to settle that question. "'Resolved—That thet:e can he no effectual remedy for the effeets of that Bill, except the immediate repeal of a measure so inimical to the interests of Inland. " Resolved—That a •Petition should be prepared to the Legislature for the immediate repeal of the measure, and for-substituting in its place an equitable Appropriation of Tithes. " Resolved—That we in common rNith the rest of the people of Ireland, entertain the most unbounded confidence in, and attachment to,. Daniel O'Connell, and that we hare heard with great satisfaction his expressed intention of giv ing his able assi-tance to obtain the repeal of the present Tithe Bill ; we also tender to him our grateful thanks for his able support of the . prPsent Government, by which he has:prevented the return of the Tories to power." Thus, as Mr. O'CONNELL predicted, the agitation against Tithes is only transferred by the Tithe BM from the wearers of frieze coats to the wearers of broad-cloth. The landlord is substituted for the pea sant ; and thus the Tithe question is in as unsettled a state as it was four years ago. The tinkering system must be given up ; for it is evident that we ought not, and cannot, com pel the Catholics of Ireland to contribute to a Church which has been a curse, instead of being a bleising, to them and to their country. Catholic Ire land will not, and ought not, to support a sinecure Protestant Church—now that she is powerful enouJi to 'assert her right to an equality of religious liberty and independence with England and Scotland. The little regard which the country has been able to bestow upon any questions but such as relate to th e Corn Laws, the Extension of the SufKage, and the operation of the Poor . Laws, since the prorogation of Parliament, has prevented us from earlier adverting to a subject which has frequently been made the object of comment and inquiry in our columns—namely, the necessity of an early Reform in our Legislative eco nomy. Men of all parties, who know anything of the internal constitution of the Houses of Lords and Commons, are agreed that nothing can be conceived more cumbrous and inefficient than their present forms of carrying on business. The very freedom of our , Constitution, conjoined with the, nature of the qualification which entitles the 'National Repre- - sentative to participate in the highest functions of . Legislation, tend to aggravate an evil . for Which , the State, singularly enough, has never thought of pro viding a remedy. For while a knowledge of existing laws forms no part of the qualification of a Member of Parliament—while it is notorious that to arrive at such a knowledge, even imperfectly, would occupy a man of the greatest industry the greater part of an ordinary life—it is known to every body that each Member may, with the permission of the House, bring in any Bill he chooses, and if he be a good Parliamentary tactician, and not over scrupulous, pass it too, though contain ing clauses subversive of the rights and privileges of Parliament itself. The natural consequence of this is that our Statute Book presents the legal inquirer with a mass of repetitions of one Act in numerous dill-rent forms---with laws made and unmade in a single Session, without so much as an intention on the part of the Legislature either to pass or to repeal such enactments—with long rigmarole Bills, so stufft:d with the jargon of the bar as to be wholly unin telligible even to the framers—and with Acts so trivial in themselves, and so restricted in their ap plication, that one is surprised to think how they could have so much as interested the Town Council of a petty Corporation. These anomalies in our Legisla tive system have long been f e l t by Parliament itself ; and several distinguished individuals out of doors sug gested remedies which attracted attention for the mo ment,but which, unfortunately, disappeared in the vortex of the business-confusion which they were designed to Among the more elaborate tr eat i ses upon r emedy. which have come under this question our notice, by far the most conclusive is one entitled " An Argument for More of the Division of Lab our in Civil Life," which we remember having 4een made the subject of an Article in the Edinburgh Review. It was publishe d in 1829, but almost every statement contained in it are as applicable to the busi ness defects of the present House of Commons, as they were to that which adopted the Catholic Re lie f Bill. More business is attempted to be got through by the House o f C om mons in one Session, than any well organized deliberate assembly could carefully in vestigate in five years. The time of a Session, spent without food, sleep, or exercise, would not enable any Member of the Legislature to peruse the mass of printed documents submitted to it—much less to make the information thence acquired of any real uti lity in the process of legislation. With the hest in tentions in the world, one-third of the Members of the House of Commons setreely know what they are doing. Returned to Parliament, for the first time, they are ignorant of all the forms of the House ; and if unacquainted with the laW as a profession, they dread the ridicule of encountering lawyers upon the legal merits of any Bill Which comes before them. There is no office at which they can apply for such informa tion as they may require, and hence it is that many Members, otherwise most solicitous to promote the interests of their constituents, do nothing, be cause they know not how to proceed without provoking the ridicule or the indignation of their Honourable Colleagues. Before the re-assembling of Parliament we shall take frequent opportunities of en tering more into the details of this question, with a view to force it upon the attention of the electoral body ; and, in the meantime, we beg to direct attention to the following propositions, which were submitted, in a less perfect shape, to a Committee of the House of Commons, as remedies for the more glaring defects in our Legislative economy. They were drawn up by Mr. WILLIAM WicKENs, the author of the work above referred to—a gentleman who has devoted several years to inquiries connected with the defective constitution of the business department of the Legis lature : The following propositions are with deference submitted .o the Committee of the House of Commons at present sitting, upon " the business of the House." They have been suggested by a long and attentive observation of the deplor able confusion and defectiveness which mark our legisla tive operations ; and, if reduced to practice, they will, it is conceived, go far towards correcting a state of things, which, it is not too much to say, every considerate Merabvr of Parliament must blush to witness. It is proposed, first of all, that a classification or assort ment be effected of the principal subject: which it is cus tomary for Parliament to be occupied with. It is proposed, further, that bureaus or offices he esta blished, as an integral part of the two Houses of Parlia ment, answering to the several heads or divisions of busi ness that may thus be agreed upon. Th”e heads or divisions will, it is presumed, prove to be something like the following :—The constitution, economy, privileges, &c. of Parliament ; the public revenue ; the public expenditure ; the public service—civil, military, and naval ; public works ; internal communications ; agricul ture, fisheries, trade, and manufactures ; currency and banking ; bankruptcy and insolvents ; pauperism, and pro %idea institutions ; marriage ; lunatics ; ecclesiastical af fairs ; education, and public charities ; science, the arts, the press, and the drama ; justice—civil and criminal ; in ternal organization, economy, and police of the country ; foreign possessions, and colonies ; private bills—althoueh it is hoped the time is net distant when the great bul of this description of business will be altogether withdrawn from out of the jurisdiction of Parliament. Further it is proposed, that the bureaus or offices thus suggested be constituted so as to serve as vigilant and faithful depositories of all facts or information of im portance, germane to their several subjects :—the more ex press or immediate business of each office at the same tine being the collecting and keeping on view of every actual enactment or regulation of our oan authorities, which in like manner pertains to or ranges under the head of the office ; together with the laws, regulations, &c. that correspond thereto of other countries. Again it is proposed that a certain number of barristers of taleat and experience (say three or fi ve ) be appointed' as permanent adjuncts to the two Houses of Parliament ; the duties or liabilities of these functionaries to comprise the sup-rintetidenee and control of the bureaus to he insti tuted ; the framing, or the being consulted as to the framing, of Whatever Bills it may be wished to introdtice into either House of Parliament, and the acting as assessors to elec tion or other Committees. Finally, it is proposed that it be a requisite indispensable to all attempted improvements, changes, air alterations of the law without exception, that Members tnakieg such at tempts shall have previously placed theMselves in full coin mueiescion with the bureau implicated or concerned upon the. occasion, and with the principal of the bureau ; the puipoies of this etipula6in of course beieg, that Honour able Members may proceed in their various legislative pro jects, thoroughly cognizant of the state of the law as ac- Nally - existing ; possesing a perfect knowledge of the whole circumstances of the case which they ri gard as calling for their into ; in the enjoyment, moreover, of every possible light or aid that is derivable from collateral sources, and throughout having at command professional counsel or co-operation, to the utmost extent to which they may need or desire it. What is most wanted in the first instance, is an able, indefatigable, sturdy Member of Parliament, who • will devote himself to the effecting of the Reforms here suggested, and so identify himself with the necessity of an improved system. It will not do to leave an affair of this kind to the discretion of the whole House Let onlV one clever Member take it up manfully, and adhere to it closely against all opposition, and we will answer for his success. Mr. HuAtE's long experience and perfect acquaintance with the routine of Par- liamentary business eminently qualify him fo r a task, in the accomplishment of which all his energy and perseverance will be requisite to bear down, not the opposition, but the lukewartmnss of the House. But more of this in a day or two, when we expect to have an opportunity of returning to the subject. We regret that we cannot find room for the Report of a very important meeting, held at Cashel on the 23 inst., for the, purpose of taking into consideration the recommendations of the Irish Railway Commis sioners with reference - to-the establishment of a Main Trunk . Line of Railway frOM . Dublin to Cork, [trough Monntiath, Thurles r Holy Cross,,Cashel, &c. The meeting was numerously and most respectably - attended. The Chair was taken. by Mr. OT*Aie CAVE,' M.P4 and the assembly addressed at great length by 'Mr. QulN-, who ably expounded the views and suggestions of .the Commissioners: After a long and animated discussion, the following resolutions were cordially and unani►nously adopted : Moved by JAMES Roa, Esq. ; seconded by W. NICE.. rxr, • ESQ. Resolved--That this meeting having considered the Report of the Commissioners appointed by her Majesty to inquire into the manner in which railway communica tion can be most advantageously promoted in Ireland, con cur in the opinion expressed in other parts of the country, that the information contained in that very valuable docu ment is well calculated to lead to just conclusions as to the faciities existing in Ireland for the establishment of railway co.nmunications. .hived by JOHN GREENE, Esq. ; seconded by DANIEL MANSERGH, q. :— Itlt.solved—Vilt this meeting do fully approve of the opinion expressed by the Commissioners, that the cir cumstances in which Ireland is placed, with reference to the amount of capital disposable for enterprises of that nature, are not favourable to the establiihtn , nt of loval and separate lines of railway, executed and conducted by private companie, ; and that the interests of the courrr , would be promoted much more effectu illy by a cg.ne al sstein of railway intercourse, embracing within its in fluence the most pop u l ous an d wea l t h y di s t r i c ts, and carried into eff!et under the im:nediate superintendence and con trout of her Alajesty's Government. Moved by CHARLES SCULLY, Esq. ; seconded by JAMES D. SCULLY, F. , q. Resolved—That petitions conformable to the above re solutions be prepared, addressed to the Lords of hut. Ma jesty's Treasury, and to the two Houses of Parliament, praying them to give their sanction to the system of rail ways proposed by the Commissioners ; and that the gen tlemen composing this meeting do hereby pledge them sel% es to afford to her Majesty's Government all the as sistance in their power, in order to secure the successful accomplishment of the line of railway proposed to pass through the districts in and near which they reside. A form of petition having then been read and agreed to, it Was Moved by DANIEI. JOSEPH MURPHY, Esq. ; seconded by JAMES HESEY, E-q., and - - Resolved—That the petition nnw read be adopted, and that L or d Lismtire be requested to pr:?sent it to the House and dLtohradts,Ra.ndo. Lord cav D:ttnally be requested to su pp or t it the Hou se of Commons, Esq .a'atbntedh Nie requested s,t, tosh Shell e s u e a l l , it andt Stock to supp ort i t, and that o pre sent it to th e L or d s of the 'Treasury.

Murphy, Esq., having been called ere we re given to Mr. Otway C a v e f or his impartial the a pitied conduct in the chair. Mr. CAVE, in returning thanks, said that he felt ex tremely obl:ged to the meeting for their kindeess towards hint—that lie fully approved of their resolutions and the petition, and that he wou:d feel great pleasure in present ing the latter to the House of Commons, as well as to the Lords of her .N.l,6Q.sty's Treasury, and that he would sup port them cordially, being convinced that the great enter p.ise proposed by her Majesty's Commissioners was worthy of the support of every man vim felt an interest. in the wel fare if Ireland.—(Loud and long continued cheering.) The meeting was then dissolved. The Times of this morning is most lavish of its en comiums on the Conservative faction, which it stoutly declares is impregnated with the true spirit of Reform. " The Conservatives "—says the Salinoneus, or Mock- Thunderer of Printing-house-square —" acknowledge that no scheme of Government is prefect ; that time works an unavoidable decay in the most skilful me chanism invented for the protection of liberty, as well as for the maintenance of law ; and where such de generacy can be shown to exist, they are ready and anxious to repair it." We readily con cede to our Contemporary that the Conservatives are always " ready and anxious" to repair any imperfections in Government, when they " can be shown to exist ;" but the misfortune is, that they never are shown to exist. The Tortes cannot see an im - perfection, even under their very nose, and of course cannot be expected to repair what they cannot see. They are high gravel-blind to all but the incomparable excellencies of " our free and glorious Constitution in Church and State." Reason with them on this matter, and you will find them impervious as the nether mill-stone to all conviction. Tell them that time has engendered defects in the august edifice of the Constitution ; that its rafters are not quite so strong as they ought to be ; and that, though the foundation is sound, some portions of the superstruc ture are giving way ;—talk to the Conservatives in this style, and they will te,l yoe in reply, that you were never more mistaken in your life, for that the build ing is in the best possible condition ; and that what you, in your ignorance, mistake for defects, are in reality, the greatest possible recommendations. A Tory see imperfections in the Constitution, indeed ! The bare idea of such a thing is preposterous. The Times goes on to observe that there " would be more of the spirit both of true Reform and statesmanlike pol►cy in any one week of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S admi nistration, than in a century under Lord JoHN RUS SELL." Bravo, Thunderer ! This is going the whole Tory hog with a vengeance. So, the author of the Tamwerth Manifesto would do more for Reform— were he allowed the o pportunity—than even the author of the Reform Bill ! lie who opposed fur years and years the repeal of the Test Acts—Catholic Emancipation—the East Retford Disfranchisement Bill—and, in fact, every measure that had improve ment for its aim and end, would meet the wishes of the people with more readiness, than he who was one of the staunchest advocates in Puliament of all these libaral and enlightened Reforms ? If Sir ROBERT PEEL be really so sincere in his wish for Reform as our Contemporary would imply, why did he not show his sincerity during the period of his Administration ? Has his desire for improvement only sprung into existence since then ? If so, it is worth nothing. But the plain truth is, the. Right Hon. B: , .ronet spoke out, as he really felt, in the Tam worth Manifesto—a Stare document than which no thing more vague, vacillating, or unintelligible, was ever to be found, even in a King's speech during the palmy days of Toryism. We have received the whole of the Paris Journals of Wednesday. Their contents are of no political importance. With respect to the Swiss gut stion, the Journal des Debats says—" 'We consider the quarrel as terminwed by the Reply of the Swiss Directory, little explicit as it may ba on the question of Prince Louts, but still very fitting in its form, as well as conciliatory and pacific in its spirit." The ttrmina . - tion of the quarrel is wet worthy of its commence ment—that is to say, ai mortifying to the French Cabinet as so preposterous a proceeding deserved to be. The question of Electoral Reform attracts a considerable degree of notice in the political circles of the French metropok. Upon this subject the Gazette de France, an ultra-Royalist Paper, says—" One must be blind not to perceive that France is on the eve of a violent commotion, unless it be averted by au Electoral Reform, which may stop the progressive abuses of monopoly and corruption." Nothing can be truer than this, notwithstanding the suspiciofi which attaches to all political suggestions from so s uspicious a quarter. The following article on the subject of the aggressive policy of Russ a in the East, is well worthy of «eneral notice. We cannot reciprocate the perfect confidenc e of the Debats in the statulity of our Eastern empire , unless we do something more than remain passive spectatns of the development of the designs of the Autocrat : For some time past. Rarope has been occupied with the gigantic projects of Ru4a, and her ardent de ire to posse's herself of the English po,sessons in India. In fact, her system of war against the Circassians, her progress towards the fronfi?r of Pers'a, have given reason to.think.that such might lie the designs of tbar. Power. If one cats an eye on the map—if one xneasorr , s the immense distance wtiich separates the two countries, one may then be convinced that the execution of such a plan would not only be surrounded with ditficuhies, but, what is more, imposslle. It is oc►ly those who do not hats the country that can believe for a moment in the success of such an entcrp.•:se• How is a large army (and it must be a large one) to traverse such a distance, when one reflects that the space to pass is, for the greater part, a desert, and without wat , r ; that t h e inhabited part is only filled by hordes who could offer no resources. It would be necessary then to carry everything with them. No rowels ; the transport of tie maletiel and prosisions of an army would meet with diffi culties of every kind. To establish magazitws is impoisible. We are no longer at a period when divant expeditions are m ide with success ; soldim s of antiquity were much less exigent than those of the present time. Since the changes made in the art of war armies do not move so easily as in other times. But suppose for a moment that a Russian armyfoued itself transpo rte d, as if b y enc h an t men t, t . the frontiers of the British piss: siions iu India ; far from their task being nceomp!ished, it is then, on the contrary, that the most serious difficulties would cimmence. For ages the English nation has been established in In dia. Having commenced by merely formicg counters for her commerce on the coasts of Malabar, Coromandel, end the borders of the Ganges, she soon pu4ierh her conquests over the whole extent of the peninsula, and the provinces south of Ca'cutta. At present her frontier extends to the n o r t h- west to Vic Gozorat and Rmljapoutany, to the north ant north-iast to the foot of the mountains of Napo! and Rattan 'These conquests, long secured by the force of arms, have also been s o by treaties. The Erg'ish, guided by a wi=e policy, h ave, l ike the R om ans, known how to respect the ri 'igloo, the manner s and customs of the country of which they took posse-sion the treaties have always been religiously maint.,ined, an d the people are more happy under this Goveinmen t ti. a:, they were under the Native Princes, vvh o treated them in a very despotic manner. Thi s wise measure assures to the n a ti ves ev - ry The English do not allow their countr ymen to colonis e in securitylnd i a . for the quiet possessiiin of their t err i tory, and the English laws protect them a g ainst all vexa tion. [T,ds is a mistake. Since 1834 colotlisation has been allowed in Bri tish India.] The detente of the country is confided in a groat mea sure to the inhabitants, who, formed to military discipline by Engtish officers, aided by native ()lies, compose an army of 250,000 men of all arms. Under the English flag, llindoos, MusselmAns, and Parias, serve with zeal, devotion, and courage, the Govern ment which pays them. They are treated with kindness, and though the discipline is as severe as with the European troops, the Indian likes the service ; be is sober, patient, and brave. The Indian soldiers have an interest in serving the Go• vernment well. Every time they quit their homes, they give up a portion of their pay to ti; , •ir fimilies, which is re gularly paid every month by the treasurer of the district, and the Government to glects nothing to come to the assis tance of these families in ease of death or wounds. Pensions are secured to them. Independent of these troops the India Company has many European regiments, which form the anillery cotps, and three complete regiments of infantry Besides these the E , gl:sh Government grants a contingent of 30,000 cavalry and infantry. They are paid by the Company. these troops lire in the most . perfect harmony, and notwithstanding the diff e rence of religion and manners, a collision between them is never hearl of. The materiel of tiiis - at;y is complete ; the means of transport do not yield to those of European troops. Such is the enemy with which the Russians would have to fight. They wnu!d, doubtless, find an effective re sistance. The slightest reverse would be the inevitable les+ of the invading army. Retreat is impossible. The climate atom, would be the most effective enemy of the Russians. Disoase would won thin their ranks. Every thing would be in f'av( ur of the English, who have again the immense advantage of speaking the. language of the country. _ _ W e think it is certain that the different people on the frontiers would give no aid to the Russians, whom they do not know, and who could be of no use to them in case of reverse ; they know that it is their interest not to quarrel with the English, whose valour and strength they have long appreciated. The maritime position of India must also be considered. Whoever would attack it should have at their disposition a marine superior to that of the English, and thus insure the preponderance on these shores. The English know this so well that they have already taken possession of the prin c i pa l port of the Persian Gulf, Bushire, which is at this moment occupied by troops sent from Bombay. Without a marine, it would be fully to think of attack ing India. These rebctions are the result of a long stay in the country, which it is necessary to hive inhabited to ap- PreelAte all the resources, and to -form a just. idea of the colossal power of Eoglan,l, of her wise policy and her execlknt Administration. We have no accounts worthy of communicating from Spain. Nothing can he conceived .more deplo rable than the present condition of that &stracted country. • The Gazelle of the 3d instant, announces the death of General GEORGE HINTER, an Irish Officer i❑ the QUEEN'S service. He died intestate, and thirty days are allowed his relatives to send their cl-ims to the Government. The Journal des Debats of this morning says, " We have just received from London, in the original, the Act dated July 3, 1838, by which the Queen of E-gland grants to literary productions of all States which shall use reciprocity, prvilege and prote , •tian in all the possess;oos of the. British Empire. This decision does honour to the Government of Queen Victoria ; let us hope that France will not delay following so noble an example." No oder counterannding the military movements bad arrived at Lyons on the 7th, and the marching of the troops continued. The Courier de eilire of the 6th announces, as well as the letters from Geneva, that the French b ittalions are at Gex and Ferney, having their advanced posts near the limits of the territory. The armal of their hattrries of reserve, organised at Lyons, says this J Aim d, is expected. Fort L'Ecluse has been furnished with everything neces sary for defence, aad provisions to huhd out for a limited period.—Le Commerce. The attack of Lumpier by the Carlist troops in Navarre is spoken of. The heavy artillery, which is at la.igo (in the line of Zubir;), is to b itter the plan ; 400 peasarts are clearing the roads, in er.ler to make it passable by the artillery.

IB,—l haSten to send you the imp/want intelligence that an offensive and deli•ns , ve a"ce against Persia bus been concluded between Great Britain and the Porte. This fact, which requires no com ment, will disclose to you at on the state of politics, the new shape assumed by the relations of the East. You have now •the whole order of battle before your eyes . ; em the 'one side . Einrhinil and Turkey, - on the oilier Persia and 'Prittssia ; 'France wavering between both ; Mehemet wa:ching and waiting .; Austria obsAiving a .significant silence. Will the scathe of the approachin4 cuniliet be eon fined to Persia ? Will Russia support openly or covertly the caus e of the Sehah ? Or, will diplomatic nego ci twins once m ire conquer the storm;? Th. n oral course of things, the state of the question to be decided, to he desired, sc:avely permit a doubt of the collision of the hostile el.iments. Top point in question is th, preponder ance of Russian over English influence in Asia ; neither of the conteniling parties will willingly abandon the field. Or will diplomacy, which in these later tim,is has been s 3 fer tile in expedient, discover for the moment s'ime mole of arrangement ? It is possible. But in this case what more c n be attained than a short delay. which in the seqUel must In all probablity le td to a more tedious anil more sanguinary relation? The activity of the Porte, the resolution of .Ruisii; whom hatred to the arrogant vassal in Egypt, and lilc , •wise the intolerable pressure Of the ruinous Situation in which he finds' himself, .have led into n-w and iimg , rous eombinvions, exceeds the opinions hillierto entertained of both, at h;ast in Constantinople. Toe march of troops to Asia and to. the Danube. continues. Ordsrs . are already given to provision and put in a state of defence the three fortresses Sehounda, Varna, and Rust- Ichuk ; the workmen are incessantly employed iu the Arsenal and other military establishments. The precise period for the formation of the new relations is not tude.,d determined, but the effects of what has already been dine can in no case be long before they manifest themselves. The English. French; and Turkish fleets, under Admirals St.pford, GAllois, awl Ahmed Feiozi are in the harbours of Smyrna, Vourla, and the adjacent islan.ls. It will speedily arp , ar whether the fleets well sea to the north or the south. Accounts from the camp in Asia state that General Chrsznowski has arrived there tvith a suite of several officers. We give this intelligence without warranting its correctness. Our eerrespoudent has adruays shown himself to be generally well informed, though he yva, lately misled into a premature statement of the commencement of hosti:ities near Bushire. The de clarations made at Alexandria, the treaty of commerce with England conducted at. Constantinople, the demonstra tions of the English in the Persian Gulf, the protest against the attack on 11 rat, and lastly, the march of troops to Southern Russia, of which we receive accounts front all quarter-,indicate a state of thinirs,lll , - dove.' eiment of which may perhaps .appear in Constantinople and Alexaadris more near at bald, and more threatewng than it really is, se that premature statements may be accounted for, though the character of the approaching solution has hitherto been indicated by our correspondents in both cities, in a manner which has been fir more confirmed than refuted by sub.e nuent events. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (THIS DAY.) The COURT was crowded his morning in expectation that the trial of Joseph Scott, formerly Treasurer of the Parish of St. James's, Clerkenwell, would be gone into. The defendant, who surrendered to his bail and recog. nizances, was charged w:th misdemeanour and fraud. It m y be recollected, 5001. reward was offered soma time since for the apprehension of the defendant.

A meeting took place this morning at the Jerusalem Coff-e-hi,usc, with tie intention of forming a steam com munication with India by the Red Sea The meeting was very numerously atten , led, and Sir Robert Wilmot Berton, Baronet, took the Chair. His s:)erch was net of great length, but much to the purpose, proNing the great utility it would be to the met chants, both in India and this country, as well as passengers going to and from the East Indies ; and the greatest object they had to contend with was the monsoon seasons. He proposed that the plati should be adopted by subscript ion Sir John Ross made a speech of some length, detailing the various expenses, and the amount it would require to purchase steamers for the above plan, as well as the amount of profit it would produce, and ended by coinciding with the Chairman in his opinion of its ultimate success. 0 le , r ntlemao spoke again,t the measure, owing to its being unjust to Mr. Way horn.
